Popples is a children's animated television series based on the Popples toy line produced by Saban Brands and Zagtoon. The series portrays the adventures of the comedic pals Bubbles, Sunny, Lulu, Izzy, and Yikes.[2] It is an original series distributed by Netflix. The last Popples television adaptation to air was a 1986 animated series.

On May 1, 2018, Saban Brands sold Popples to Hasbro.[3]

The series made its linear debut on Discovery Family on July 1, 2019.[4]

Premise

Popples are depicted as an amazing species of creatures that can pop into and out of a ball. The story is driven by the optimistic comedic enthusiasm of the BPP's (Best Popple Pals): Bubbles, Sunny, Lulu, Izzy and Yikes. Always wanting to help their friends, neighbors and each other, their efforts often backfire in hilarious ways and they must spend the rest of the episode trying to unwind the mayhem they have caused. Luckily they always manage to save the day in their own POP-tastic way.
